GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Frances Road, the dividing line between Montrose and Flushing townships, could get some attention in the coming months.

Township officials have been working on a deal to share the costs to repair the road that runs east-west and is the border between the two municipalities.

Montrose Township Supervisor Mark Emmendorfer said they have worked out a deal with Flushing Township to use funds provided to communities by the Genesee County Road Commission to repair the road.

The money is from the road commission's 50/50 program, which provides money on the condition a community matches the amount.

The projected cost for repair and upkeep of the road has been set at a little more than $319,000 for the five-year period. The two communities will be responsible for half of that amount, although the final cost will depend on how well the repairs hold up during that period, Emmendorfer said.

Work could begin in September, depending on the processing of paperwork for the project, Emmendorfer said.
